Anyone else here play Thief 2 on a 1080p HDTV? I do and one thing that bugs me is how tiny the text is for the item description when you select it from the inventory. Like when you select your lockpicks or blackjack or something it shows a picture of that item on the screen and the tiniest little text description of what the item is. I have a 60 inch HDTV and on 1080p that text is so small that I can barely make out what the selected item is. With all the other changes that have been made to the Thief series, has anyone out there made a mod or anything that can change the font size? Just wondering...

Assuming you are using NewDark, try one of these settings in your
cam_ext.cfg. :
Code:
d3d_disp_scaled_2d_overlay 2
or
Code:
d3d_disp_scaled_2d_overlay 1024 640
The actual resolution in the latter one doesn't really matter.
You can even use perfectly nonsense resolutions like 1024 1024 in order to scale the size of the HUD elements to your liking.
This should work for any widescreen TV/TFT, but you may have to use some arbitrary dimension especially for the Y axis to get the best effect.
The font-size propably can be doubled, but probably no more. (Seems to depend on the real resolution of the screen)
Note that this setting needs to be enabled as well:

Cool gnartsch :D
That's what I was looking for. I will give that a shot tonight.
thanks!!

I finally got around to trying this and it didn't work for me. I changed it to 1024 640 and it looks the same as it did before inside the game.
